Historical Head-to-Head Index

The Historical Head-to-Head (HHH) Index ranks all of England's opponents according to their record against the Three Lions. Where England have a 100% record against opponents the index will be 1, whilst a index of 0.5 means the two teams have an equal record. To date there are only four teams with a better head-to-head record, Uruguay (who first gained the advantage in 1953), Brazil (1962), Italy (Feb 1997), and Romania in 2000.

Eight opponents have an equal record although five of these have just been a single encounter. Only three teams have a better goal difference: Brazil, Uruguay and Chile.
